If Emory, UGA and Case would all cost the same, I would choose Emory, then UGA. Simply because of their name recognition. However, I don't think Case is that far off. I work for a firm now with 27 attorneys, and they all think Case is a great school. I think the key is Case's ability to get you a "good" job right after graduation. Three years after you graduate, it won't matter where you went, anyway.

I'm just waiting to hear about scholarships, because I'm not a big fan of debt. There's something to be said about having the flexibility of being $50,000 in debt as opposed to $150,000 when you graduate. That's just my 2 cents.

I visited case a little over a month ago, and I started to get a feel for their reputation. It seems to me that their career planning office does an outstanding job. They just set up annual interview programs in a bunch of major cities (I think LA, NYC, DC, Chicago). Their starting salaries seem to be very high (if their #'s are true), and the geographic distribution of their graduates seems to be good.

The only downside of the visit: it seemed like a lot of people attend Case because it's a safety school, and they didn't get accepted to their first choice. I'm not real sure why more people don't regard it more highly. Perhaps because of their low lsat/gpa numbers.

However, it appears that they place graduates in a number of differnt positions, at good salaries, and I LOVED the campus and Cleveland.... now if they would just tell me I'm accepted...

Has anyone heard about financial aid (scholarships) from Case Western? They're one of my top 2 choices, and the decision will be mostly financial. They lost my freaking application about 2 weeks ago, and I'm wondering how bad that's gonna be. (It's since been found)
